Don’t skip the pedicures


When your friend asks you to go shopping with her for a ‘new job wardrobe’, you say yes.  Or at least you should! I went on a shopping adventure with my friend who had just accepted a position at a local office.  Her previous employer didn’t require a dress code, but of course this one did.  I was up for the challenge. 
I mean, who doesn’t want to pick out all of the clothes and not have to buy anything! 😉

My friend and I went to so many stores that day and learned that finding fashionable work attire was harder than we thought it was going to be.  She is a mom of three and didn’t want to spend a lot on clothes she didn’t really like and wouldn’t wear anywhere other than work.  We managed to find a few staple pieces like black pants, black capris, white collared shirts and a couple floral shirts that she didn’t despise and didn’t empty her wallet.  

There were still pedicures planned that day and she didn’t want to forego those! We talked during those glorious foot scrubs about how hard it was to find a new wardrobe for her and how it wasn’t as fun as shopping usually is.  That is when the idea of Will & Trust Boutique came to be.  An affordable boutique for working girls who want to enjoy the experience of shopping for a new closet and still have money left over for the pedicure afterwards.  

Will & Trust Boutique is a site dedicated to giving all working girls something we aren’t embarrassed to leave work in.  Outfits you can go out for after work cocktails and not have to go home to change first.  This site is for us.

Adulting made easy-ish!

As every career gal knows.. a normal day consists of trying to get up early enough to get in a workout, 530am.  You sleep in your workout clothes so you can sleep an extra 2 minutes, I mean, it's necessary.  You get to the gym or track and get back home in just enough time to shower and blow dry your hair.  (Which takes a surprising amount of time that no husband or boyfriend understands.)  You finish your routine, eat breakfast, grab a cup of joe, and turn on Matt and Al. Now pause , this is where it can get messy.  Do you spend the extra time getting ready or sitting down for 30 minutes before your 9 hour day begins. Yes, begins, it hasn't even started yet! It is important to make sure you feel good about yourself the rest of the day.  Sure, you worked out, you logged that! However, I always take a few extra minutes to put together an outfit that I feel good in, even if I pick it out the night before.  I have a few go-to pieces that never fail m...

This is New York, Babe!

Last weekend I traveled to New York City with my husband and some friends to run the Airbnb half marathon in Brooklyn, NY.  Let's be honest, that was only one reason we traveled to New York. The other reasons being that it's an amazing place with lots of good memories in the jungle of concrete, car horns, and food carts.  I always say, you never forget your first trip to the city.  Bright lights, huge buildings, people of all kinds everywhere, stores that never seem to close, and even the street performers sing better than you on your best drunk night of karaoke!  For me, it was an experience that made me want to spend one of the most intimate experiences of my life, my wedding day, in the city that never sleeps.  That's a story for another day.  A novel of a story, really. This trip we were focused on having the most fun we could while still trying to save our legs for the half marathon.  We flew in on a Wednesday night and by Thursday we had wal...
